ANCIENT BOND ISSUE. Placerville's Railroad Bonds, which, beginning Small, are now Swelled to Large Proportions. The citizens of Placerville are up in arms against the passage of a bill by the Assembly, which, although it appears by its title to be quite inconsequential, would be the means of involving the mining town in hopeless debt. The bill provides for the filling of vacancies by appointment by the Governor in the offices of incorporated cities where there has been a failure of election for more than two years and a refusal of those last elected to continue in the discharge of their duties for more than two years. The bill, it appears, is intended to fit the case of Placerville, which has refrained from holding an election for over twenty-five years in an effort to prevent service on the municipality in a mass of litigation over a bond issue, declared by the people of Placerville to be illegal, which dates back thirty-three years. In a printed statement which has been issued by the people of Placerville for the enlightenment of the law-givers the interesting history of the famous bond issue and the reasons for which the defeat of the bill is asked are set forth at great length. It is shown that way back in 1863 the Legislature passed an act directing the Common Council of Placerville to submit to the people a proposition to subscribe $100,000 of the capital stock of the Placerville and Sacramento Valley Railroad, by which railroad communication was to be formed between Placerville and the town of Folsom, the then terminus of the road. Another act of the same Legislature reincorporated the city of Placerville by taking in a largely increased area and changing the time of its election from the first Monday in June to the third Tuesday in April. The act became effective on the very day the election was held, and it is claimed by the people of Placerville that by reason of this discrepancy there was no law in force by which any notice could be given of such election or of the submission of the question of the $100,000 subscription to the railroad. On this technicality it is claimed that the whole proceeding was irregular and the obligation shouldered by the town as a result of the election is illegal. Bonds to the amount of $24,500 were issued by the city in accordance with the authority granted the Council at the election, although the railroad was not built beyond Shingle Springs, twelve miles from Placerville, until 1886, when the Southern Pacific purchased it. The city paid interest on the bonds until 1866, but subsequent to her will was in every sense of the word loveless. It was arranged in a hurry by her brother in order to put an end to the infatuation for a young secretary of one of the foreign embassies at Madrid, with whom it was feared that she might elope, as two of her hints had done before her, the one with Count Gurowski, and the other with the Cuban poet, Guely Rente. Don Antonio, to whom the lively and comely young infanta was married in such hasta, is a poor sort of a creature, as insignificant mentally as he is physically, one of those colorless individuals, indeed, who appear predestined to be henpecked, persecuted, neglected and betrayed. The princess, who is now 36 years of age, is not handsome, but has a fine figure, and is a woman of elegant carriage. She is rather slight, but not thin, is graceful in movement and always self-possessed. Her hair is brown and her eyes blue, characteristics that are not generally considered as pertaining to those of Spanish blood. The princess and her family live in one of the superb old palaces of Madrid. Their private home life is simple, but the official life of the family is on a scale of luxury befitting the royal position. The princess gives many entertainments, dinners and receptions, and takes a prominent part in fashionable gayness. She has a penchant for elegant dresses and runs over to Paris several times a year for the purpose of replenishing her wardrobe. She is extremely charitable, devoting a large part of her income to work of benefice, and giving every possible encouragement to the industries of her country, especially among women. Eulalle is a highly educated woman, and besides being thoroughly familiar with the English language, speaks French, German, Spanish and Italian with perfect fluency. Some Proposed Laws. Continued from First Page proval of the governor to establish national and international busway systems and other regulations as he may deem necessary as to stock passing over any quarantine line existing or which may be established within the State; and all stock so moving shall be inspected by him; and he shall issue his certificate of State inspection, unless such stock shall have been immediately prior to such moving, inspected by an officer or agent acting under the laws of the United States. Whenever it may be necessary to carry out and give effect to the provisions of this act, the governor is hereby authorized and empowered to appoint an assistant state veterinarian whose tenor of office and salary shall be determined and fixed by the governor. Sec. 3. Upon information by him re- and a like tax shall be levied on paid annually upon the gross profits, and incomes from all properties and by any person, company or corporation residing on their principal place of business this state; provided, however, any company, association, or corporation herein shall not be included in the statement supra section three hereof as a portfolio gains, profits, and income hereof fed the earnings or dividends from said stock or interest. A estimating the gains, profits and any there shall not be included into such bonds or security as any law of their issue exempted from tax. Sec. 2. That in computing profits and incomes mentioned one of this act, the necessity actually incurred in causing any business occupation or not including renumeration taxpayer for personal supervision or herself or his or her family be deducted from the gross revenue, and the word "income" in this act shall be deemed and mean gross profits,and no deduction be made or allowed for any amount or contracted for permanent provements or betterment may occur due to value of any property or to increase the capital stock or assets. Sec. 3. Every person commissioned section one of this act shall be first days of January and 1900; and between the same each year thereafter; make and be filed with the state boardization a statement in writing gross income or revenue of such company, association, or county for the year ending December preceding; also a statement of essay expenses actually incurring out the business; occupation from which such revenue was derived. Suitment shall be verified by the president, secretary, or managing agent of all such corporation or corporation, or by any co-partnership which will be substantially as follows: "I _____, do swear that I am son mentioned in the foregoing (the president, secretary or managing agent of the associate corporation), or a member of partnership mentioned in this statement), that the same is correct statement of the gross and revenue derived from any business occupation or profit _____ been interested agreed on or arising in this state source whatever in this state." PRINCESS FLIRTED. Don Antonio has Left His Wife, the Infanta Eulalia of Spain. News comes from London that a final separation has taken place between the Infanta Eulalia of Spain and her husband, Don Antonio, who has left his wife, and taken his children with him. The final quarrel, brought about by the extravagant flirtations of the infanta, has taken place in England, where the princess for the present remains. The infanta has always been noted for her flightiness, but of late she has become so extravagant in her conduct as to call for the very strongest remonstrances from Madrid, which have resulted in a complete rupture between herself and her sister-in-law, the Queen Regent. The only excuse for the princess is that the atmosphere of her home during her girlhood, and above all, the example set by her mother, old Queen Isabella, was sufficient to demoralize any young damsel, while the marriage into which she was forced much against cerville that by reason of this discrepancy there was no law in force by which any notice could be given of such election or of the submission of the question of the $100,000 subscription to the railroad. On this technicality it is claimed that the whole proceeding was irregular and the obligation shouldered by the town as a result of the election is illegal. Bonds to the amount of $24,500 were issued by the city in accordance with the authority granted the Council at the election, although the railroad was not built beyond Shingle Springs, twelve miles from Placerville, until 1886, when the Southern Pacific purchased it. The city paid interest on the bonds until 1886, but subsequent to that time experienced great losses of population and utter collapse of commercial prosperity, and finding it impossible to meet either interest or principal, ceased in 1873 to maintain a municipal government. The city bonds to the amount of $29,500 were disposed of to Jackson R. Myers, one of the contractors of the railroad, and $5000 was secured by George W. Harwood, who still holds them. Myers entered into a contract with Drury Melone in 1880 and 1881 by which he agreed to give the latter one-half of the bonds as a commission for collecting them, and he subsequently gave L. L. Robinson, who died at the California hotel, in San Francisco, about two years ago, the remaining one-half interest in the bonds still retained by him in satisfaction of an indebtedness. Drury Melone, to earn his commission, brought three suits to compel the collection of the bonds, and prosecuted the litigation until, on April 9, 1886, a judgment by default on those $29,500 bonds was entered for $228,785 82. This, with interest from the date of the judgment, now amounts to over $260,000, and the $5000 bonds held by Harwood, over which there is a suit pending in the Circuit Court, with interest added, amount to $21,000. The people of Placerville are debtors to a claim growing out of the bond issue of $34,500, that amounts at this time to over $281,000, whereas the assessed valuation of all property in Placerville amounts to only $548,210, or less than twice the amount of the claim. For these and other reasons the people of Placerville are opposed to any legislation that will permit the collection of the principal and interest of the bonds, which it is stated, were issued in exchange for no consideration whatever.

The wealth of the multimillionaires is not equal to good health. Riches without health are a curse, and yet the rich, the middle classes and the poor alike have, in Hood's Sarsaparilla, a valuable assistant in getting and maintaining perfect health. It never disappoints. Scrofula—"Three years ago our son, now eleven, had a serious case of scrofula and erysipelas with dreadful sores, discharging and itching constantly. He could not walk. Several physicians did not help for sixteen months. Three months' treatment with Hood's Sarsaparilla made him perfectly well. We are glad to tell others of it." Mrs. David Laird, Ottawa, Kansas. Nausea—"Vomiting spells, dizziness and prostration troubled me for years. Had neuralgia, grew weak and could not sleep. My age was against me, but Hood's Sarsaparilla cured me thoroughly. My weight increased from 125 to 143 pounds. I am the mother of nine children. Never felt so well and strong since I was married as I do now." Mrs. M. A. Waters, 1529 33d St., Washington, D. C.

Sec. 9. For the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this act there shall be appropriated the sum of eight thousand dollars, not more than one thousand dollars payable out of the revenue for the current fiscal year, out of the general fund of this state. Sec. 10. This act shall be in force and effect from and after its passage. The Senate has under discussion an act to provide for the assessment, levy, and collection of an income tax, as follows: Section 1. From and after the passage of this act there shall be assessed, levied, collected, and paid annually, in addition to all taxes now or hereafter provided for by law upon the gains, profits, and income derived in the preceding calendar year, by every person, company, association, or corporation residing or doing business in this state, whether such gains, profits, or incomes be derived from any kind of property, rents, or interests, or dividends from any business done, carried on, or arising in this state, or from any source whatever in this state, a tax of two per centum on the amount so derived on the excess over five thousand dollars, Sec. 5. Any person complying or corporation carry out operating in this State any of extensions to or is carried out other State or States, such company, association or corporation shall within the time mentioned three hereof make and hold the said board of equalizationment of the gross income and derive from such business due calendar year mentioned in section hereof, and also a detailed statement showing the necessary expenses incurred in carrying on the success also the total number operated, and also the total n The Natural Cure for Indigestion. Do you have pain in the stomach after eating? Do you have a yellow tongue? Wind on the stomach? Constipation? These things arise from indigestion and dyspepsia. Digestion depends on digestive fluids or ferments secreted by certain glands. When the secretion becomes insufficient, indigestion results. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People cause these glands to resume their normal action and good digestion follows. Artificial ferments (of which most so-called Dyspepsia cures are composed) may give temporary relief, but Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People afford a permanent cure. Poor digestion often causes irregularity of the heart's action. This irregularity may be mistaken for real organic heart disease. A case in point: Mrs. Gilbert Odson, New York, had suffered for four years with stomach spasms. The grass generated by the indigestion pressed on the heart and caused an irregularity of its action. She had much pain in her stomach and heart, and was subject to frequent and severe spasms which were most severe at night. Doctors were tried in vain; the patient became weaker and finally seated. Her weight which had been greatly reduced, was restored and she now weighs more than forty years. That others may know the means of cure we give the same of the medicine to treat that trouble and with immediate good results. Her appetite can back, the shouting spells become less pregnant and finally ceased. Her weight which had been greatly reduced, was restored and she now weighs more than forty years.

Disfranchisement in Five States. Mississippi, South Carolina and Louisiana, the three States which have already adopted suffrage restrictions practically disfranchising the negroes, are presently to be joined by North Carolina and Alabama, though in North Carolina the colored citizens are not numerous enough to make it possible for them to control the State. In Mississippi the colored population preponderates, it being 744,749 to 544,-851 white, according to the census of 1890. The new Constitution, which was adopted in 1890 without submission to the voters, provides that to be entitled to the suffrage every elector "shall convince the registering officers that he is able to read any section of the Constitution of the State, or be able to understand the same when read to him, or give a reasonable interpretation of same." As a consequence, the total vote of Mississippi which was 165,000 in 1876, fell to about 60,000 in 1896, in spite of a great increase in population. The South Carolina Constitutional Convention adopted in December, 1895, this suffrage restriction: "A voter must be a male citizen, 21 years of age and upward, and must have paid the poll tax. On and after Jan. 1, 1898, all male persons of voting age who can read any section of the Constitution submitted to them by the registration officers (or can understand and explain when read by the registration officers) shall be entitled to register and become electors. Any person who shall apply for registration after Jan. 1 shall be registered (if he can both read and write any section of the Constitution submitted to him) or can show that he owns (and has paid all taxes collectible in the previous year) on property assessed at $300 or more." The new Constitution of Louisiana requires voters to demonstrate their ability to read and write by making written application in the presence of the registration officer, "without assistance or suggestion from any person or any memorandum whatever;" but if the applicant be unable to write in the English language, he has the right to use his mother tongue, with the aid of an interpreter; or if unable to write because of physical disability, it may be written at his dictation, and he thus obtain the right to vote. Mere illiteracy, however, excludes from the franchise no citizen if he is a bona fide owner of property valued at not less than $300, upon which the taxes have been paid. Finally, no citizen who was entitled to vote on Jan. 1, 1887, under the Constitution or statutes of any State in the United States, where-in he then resided, and no son or CASTORIA The Kind You Have Always Bought, and which has been in use for over 30 years, has borne the signature of and has been made under his personal supervision since its infancy.

Mere illiteracy, however, excludes from the franchise no citizen if he is a bona fide owner of property valued at not less than $300, upon which the taxes have been paid. Finally, no citizen who was entitled to vote on Jan. 1, 1867, under the Constitution or statutes of any State in the United States, wherein he then resided, and no son or grandson of any such person, and no male person of foreign birth, naturalized prior to that date, is to be denied the right to vote by reason of his failure to possess the educational or property qualifications. All of which, of course, is actually contrived to exclude the negroes and include the whites. The date Jan. 1, 1867, is fixed because the bill obliging Southern States to adopt the Fourteenth amendment as a condition of their readmission to representation in Congress was passed on March 2, 1867. Moreover, fixing Jan. 1, 1867, as the last date from which "ancestral suffrage" is to be reckoned is for the purpose of evading the Fourteenth Article of the Constitution declaring that "no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States." The Fifteenth amendment establishing negro suffrage was officially declared to be in force on March 30, 1870. The total vote of Louisiana in the Presidential election was 145,823 in 1876, and 101,046 in 1896. At the State election in 1896 it was 206,530, but at the Congressional election last November, the first under the new Constitution, it was 33,186. The North Carolina amendment closely follows the Louisiana precedent. It was adopted by the General Assembly last week by an overwhelming vote and will be submitted to the people in August, 1901.—N.

A meeting was held at the Chamber of Commerce in Los Angeles yesterday, under the auspices of the Southern California Academy of Sciences, for the purpose of forming a Forest and Water Society of Southern California. The objects of the Society are: 1st. To further the storage of surplus rainfall in the wet season for summer use, and the reclamation and improvement of desert and arid lands by these means. The work in this line now being done by the U.S. Geological Survey needs support and extension. 2nd. The inauguration of a rational system of managing our forests and mountain watersheds. It was brought out at the meeting that the safety of the community demands the arrest of all further forest denudation in Southern California. The sole enemy in this is fire. The increasing ravages of fire are a menace to every watershed in the South. Forest denudation in Southern California has already increased torrent and flood action on a rainfall not increased. It has created torrents. It has caused serious damage where the watershed has been much injured, as in the watersheds of the San Gabriel and Pacific Coast Steamship Co.

The inauguration of a rational system of managing our forests and mountain watersheds. It was brought out at the meeting that the safety of the community demands the arrest of all further forest denudation in Southern California. The sole enemy in this is fire. The increasing ravages of fire are a menace to every watershed in the South. Forest denudation in Southern California has already increased torrent and flood action on a rainfall not increased. It has created torrents. It has caused serious damage where the water-shed has been much injured, as in the watersheds of the San Gabriel and Santa Clara. On the other hand, the mountain streams and springs have given out a lessened summer supply, to to the injury of irrigation. Besides these important considerations there is also the probable and unfavorable modification of the climate due to undue forest denudation. Greater extremes of heat and cold must be expected where the forest covering is removed. The forest is like a blanket over the mountains; it retards the radiation of heat. The air on a denuded mountain rapidly cools and flows down the naked mountain sides and canons, and out into the swallows and low lands in crop and orchard. This means more severe frost. Extremes of heat must also be more numerous and agricultural returns must diminish. All the interests of Southern California are a unit on this subject. Each interest represented at the meeting was requested to make a statement of the value of that interest, so that our requests to politicians for effective action will have weight. All water companies, colonies, fruit associations, miners' companies, mountain resorts and, in fact, all interested in the subjects named were invited to send delegates.
